A reminder definition of TCK:  “A child who has spent a significant period of time in one or more culture(s) other than his or her own, thus integrating elements of those cultures and their own birth culture, into a third culture.”

In other words, our kids are TCKs.

Anyway, my friend Vicki helps with the TCK youth group in town– it’s a mixed group of teenagers living here as expats.  They ended their worship time with the song “Blessed Be Your Name,” and then went in to a time of prayer.

A 16-year-old boy prayed this:

“Lord, blessed be Your name, when the world’s all as it should be, and the sun is shining down on us.  And Lord, blessed be your name, when our road is marked with suffering, like when we have to go to America with our parents for the summer.”
